My elevator mod, went with one servo in the tailplane like I done with the bobcat.

Very simple to do if using a moulded servo cover. I used a spare one from a Boomerang Elan.

I just cut away the film, glued in four wooden blocks in the corners and screwed down the servo cover, job done very simple.
I fitted it to the bottom of the tailplane so I wanted as much burn proof as possible so made up two alum horns, metal ball link and 3mm rod. Then covered the complete bottom of the tailplane with alum tape.

After I had the job done, I thought I could have also fitted it to the top of the tailplane, with the moulded servo cover it would have looked ok, as my idea initially was to take it out of view.
On the top would have made fitting the alum tape to the bottom easier. Will do that on the next one.

Is the servo mounted to the cover, then the cover attached to the airframe? Or is the servo mounted directly to the airframe?


Thanks,

Yes servo is mounted to cover as shown in middle picture then screwed to blocks glued into tailplane.

Well Collin like I have mentioned before I copied the Falcon and improved it heavily, but on that note the wings from the V1 Tornado will fit the Flacon the V2 Wings are held together a little different and the spar location will not fit the existing Falcon fuselage holes.  The V3 wings will not fit becuase of how we mounted the spars and also the landing gear wholes are different.  So yes I copied the Falcon which copied the Bob Cat but honestly I dont really care becuase at Florida Jets The new V3 was one of the few airplanes that did not break anything even landing in crazy gust's and very rough grass.  Besides Collin you really dont need to worry about it becuase the upgrade package will only be sold to North America, Central America South America and Africa. 

Dr Honda the price is being looked at very closely I am pricing material at this time,  I am finishing up 400 new V3 Tornado's for this order and would like to bring atleast 200 conversion kits becuase I have a confirmed order of 110 from our dealer in Brazil Alone.  So the price should be very reasonable just like everything everything else we sell.

I guess news travels fast yes we are making a conversion kit for the all the Flacon 120's that are out there.  The Conversion Kit will be our New Tornado V3 Wings, Composite Booms and Stabilizer.  The wings are heavly reinforced with ply cross bracing through out the wing as well as tons of Carbon Fiber as well as double ply landing gear mounts as well as fully sheeted.  The Booms are full Composie and are again Ply Support and tons of Carbon Fiber reinforcement.  The elevator is fully sheeted built up with Double ply cross bracing and Carbon Fiber.  Also all the servo's are mounted inside of the wings and booms.  We have aquired a Falcon 120 and have made sure it will fit correctly.  I dont have a exact price yet but we will make it as reasonable as possible for people to convert there old falcons or new ones that they have not yet built into a new rock hard machine.  Out Version 3 Tornado with the same wings and booms are flyoing well over 200+ miles per hour and have been out through tremendous stress with no problems.  They handle a 23lb thrust turbine with no problem.  Below are some pictures of what the internals look like of the wings and Booms we are using on our Tornado. 

One thing I do ask from everybody out there is to what color scheme to make these parts for you or none at all.  We can get you wings and Stabilizers unconvered and Booms unpainted?
